Fifa vice-president Michel Platini could be facing a life ban from football, according to his lawyer, the BBC reports.
The suspended Uefa chief is serving a 90-day suspension on corruption charges alongside outgoing Fifa president Sepp Blatter, while Fifa’s adjudicatory committee considers its verdict.
Platini’s lawyer Thibaud d’Ales said the ethics investigators’ “excessive” recommendations are a “scandal”.
The adjudicatory committee intends to announce its verdict next month.
The Frenchman is facing sanctions over a “disloyal payment” that saw Platini, 60, receive £1.35m from Blatter, 79, in 2011 for consultation work done nine years earlier.
The pair, who are serving 90-day provisional bans, have denied any wrongdoing, but admitted there was no written contract.
